Through “Time Away” American artist Syndarian delivers his first album which creates an emotional journey using musical narratives to express raw feelings. The whole seven-track concept album represents both the creator’s private memories and a search for human personal growth and emotional staying power. The artist organized “Time Away” as a sequential order so listeners experience the album as much like reading a personal written story. Each track in “Time Away” creates another chapter that shows the artist’s life events.
The album starts with “Loving You” which presents a rushed combination of open-hearted sentiment and dreamy sentiment. The next installment on the album “Spirits” brings a haunting musical atmosphere that increases the album’s emotional depth. Mirage introduces a dystopian musical environment through disturbing audio textures and strange sound designs that surround the audience.
The album reaches its peak through “Vanity” which serves as a raw emotional powerhouse like Staind. “Harm” brings listeners to a desert landscape filled with an ethereal guitar solo who performs a serene flight across the air. The album finds its base in “Bird’s Eye View” using a traditional rock format which echoes classic folk music songwriters. The album finishes with “Hindsight” which creates an atmosphere of clarity and new beginnings while maintaining the distinct voice of Syndarian in his vocal delivery.
Syndarian establishes through “Time Away” that epic compositions only require authenticity rather than elaborate production techniques. The album presents an everlasting musical experience that announces a powerful fresh folk-rock talent through his honest performances along with his truthful storytelling within a minimalistic sonic structure.
